The Big Picture

Here it is, almost as I left it Friday night at 1:30am. I did take the intake off after this picture was taken, and tried to take the two cooling route bolts out of the head. Alas, the Bolt the Always Breaks broke. It looks like there's a decent amount of "meat" left on it though, so I'll do the "thread on a nut and weld it in place" trick tomorrow. That sometimes almost kinda works. Less risky than an "EZ Out" anyway.

So far, I need...
- Injector tips. Badly.
- Top radiator hose (the alternator pulley was rubbing on the existing one - not very reliable now with a 1/16" deep groove worn in it.
- M6 Stainles SHCS to replace a few eroded ones.

I'll call BAP and RMR tomorrow, and see if either of them has the injector parts and/or the hose. If the bolt removal goes Ok, I may be able to reach my goal yet.
